Suppose you want to test the claim that a population
(a) State the null hypothesis.
(b) State the alternate hypothesis if you have no information regarding how the population mean might differ from 40.
(c) State the alternative hypothesis if you believe (based on experience or past studies) that the population mean may exceed 40.
H0: μ > 40
H0: μ < 40
H0: μ = 40
H0: μ ≠ 40
H0: μ ≥ 40

- I am struggling in my Psyc 300 Statistic class. I seem to have missed a concept early in our class and now the following homework problem has left me lost. One Sample t-test 1. A professor wants to know whether her students’ GPAs differ from the entire student population at the University ( She records 20 of her students’ GPAs and compares the mean ( = 3.25, sd = 0.85) to the population, predicting that her students will have different GPAs than the University population. Using an alpha of .05, perform an appropriate t- test. Hypothesis: tthreshold= df = tobs = Conclusion:arrow_forwardPlease number the responsearrow_forwardA personality test has a subsection designed to assess the "honesty" of the test-taker. Suppose that you're interested in the mean score, 4, on this subsection among the general population. You decide that you'll use the mean of a random sample of scores on this subsection to estimate u. What is the minimum sample size needed in order for you to be 95% confident that your estimate is within 2 of µ? Use the value 22 for the population standard deviation of scores on this subsection. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Write your answer as a whole number (and make sure that it is the minimum whole number that satisfies the requirements). (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)arrow_forward
- For data that is not normally distributed we can't use z-scores. However, there is an equation that works on any distribution. It's called Chebyshev's formula. The formula is p = 1 - 7.2 where p is the minimum percentage of scores that fall within k standard deviations on both sides of the mean. Use this formula to answer the following questions. a) If you have scores and you don't know if they are normally distributed, find the minimum percentage of scores that fall within 2.1 standard deviations on both sides of the mean? b) If you have scores that are normally distributed, find the percentage of scores that fall within 2.1 standard deviations on both sides of the mean? c) If you have scores and you don't know if they are normally distributed, how many standard deviations on both sides of the mean do we need to go to have 96 percent of the scores? Note: To answer part c you will need to solve the equation for k.arrow_forwardYou are testing the claim that the proportion of men who own cats is larger than the proportion of women who own cats.

You hope that they can proofread an average of 1000 words per hour, an industry benchmark, If they average fewer than 1000 words per hour you will need to reconfigure the staffing. You test the proofreading times of a sample of 100 of the proofreaders and find the sample average words per hour is = whether the population mean words per hour is greater than 1000 with a 95% confidence level. The z-critical value for this test is Z = Zo.05 975 and the sample standard deviation is s = 600. Test 1.645.

- Suppose you want to test the claim that a population mean equals 34. (c) State the alternative hypothesis if you believe (based on experience or past studies) that the population mean may exceed 34. A-H1: ? > 34 B-H1: ? < 34 C-H1: ? = 34D-H1: ? ≠ 34 E-H1: ? ≥ 34 (d) State the alternative hypothesis if you believe (based on experience or past studies) that the population mean may be less than 34.

(Twenge, 2000). In the 1950s , the average score on the Child Manifest Anxiety Scale was ?= 15.1. A sample of n = 16 of today's children produces a mean score of M = 23.3 with SS = 240. Based on the sample, has there been a significant increase in the average level of anxiety since the 1950s? Use a one-tail test with α= .05. ****Is the critical region 1.753? Positive or Negative?**arrow_forwardQ1. A psychologist conducted a study on the relationship between introversion and shyness. The values are results for scales of introversion and shyness. High positive scores on each scale indicate high introversion or shyness; and high negative scores indicate low introversion or shyness. Data collected from 10 people as follows: Introversion 4 -7 -1 0 6 7 -4 -9 -5 8 Shyness 11 -7 -1 -3 0 7 -1 -8 -1 5 a) Compute the correlation coefficient relating introversion and shyness scores. b) Find the regression equation which predicts introversion from shyness. c) What introversion score would you predict from a shyness score of 7?arrow_forward
